It supports arbitrary function objects, functions, - function pointers, and member function pointers, and is able to bind any - argument to a specific value or route input arguments into arbitrary positions. <b>bind</b> - does not place any requirements on the function object; in particular, it does - not need the <b>result_type</b>, <b>first_argument_type</b> and <b>second_argument_type</b> - standard typedefs. - </p> - <h3><a name="with_functions">Using bind with functions and function pointers</a></h3> - <p>Given these definitions: - </p> - <pre>int f(int a, int b) -{ - return a + b; -} - -int g(int a, int b, int c) -{ - return a + b + c; -} -</pre> - <p><tt>bind(f, 1, 2)</tt> will produce a "nullary" function object that takes no - arguments and returns <tt>f(1, 2)</tt>. Similarly, <tt>bind(g, 1, 2, 3)()</tt> is - equivalent to <tt>g(1, 2, 3)</tt>. - </p> - <p>It is possible to selectively bind only some of the arguments. <tt>bind(f, _1, 5)(x)</tt> - is equivalent to <tt>f(x, 5)</tt>; here <b>_1</b> - is a placeholder argument that means "substitute with the first input - argument." - <p>For comparison, here is the same operation expressed with the standard library - primitives: - </p> - <pre>std::bind2nd(std::ptr_fun(f), 5)(x); -</pre> - <p><b>bind</b> covers the functionality of <b>std::bind1st</b> as well: - </p> - <pre>std::bind1st(std::ptr_fun(f), 5)(x); // f(5, x) -bind(f, 5, _1)(x); // f(5, x) -</pre> - <p><b>bind</b> can handle functions with more than two arguments, and its argument - substitution mechanism is more general: - </p> - <pre>bind(f, _2, _1)(x, y); // f(y, x) - -bind(g, _1, 9, _1)(x); // g(x, 9, x) - -bind(g, _3, _3, _3)(x, y, z); // g(z, z, z) - -bind(g, _1, _1, _1)(x, y, z); // g(x, x, x) -</pre> - <p>Note that, in the last example, the function object produced by <tt>bind(g, _1, _1, - _1)</tt> does not contain references to any arguments beyond the first, but - it can still be used with more than one argument. Any extra arguments are - silently ignored, just like the first and the second argument are ignored in - the third example. - </p> - <p>The arguments that <b>bind</b> takes are copied and held internally by the - returned function object. For example, in the following code: - </p> - <pre>int i = 5; - -bind(f, i, _1); -</pre> - <p>a copy of the value of <b>i</b> is stored into the function object. <A href="../core/doc/html/core/ref.html"> - boost::ref</A> and <A href="../core/doc/html/core/ref.html">boost::cref</A> can be used to make - the function object store a reference to an object, rather than a copy: - </p> - <pre>int i = 5; - -bind(f, ref(i), _1); - -bind(f, cref(42), _1); -</pre> - <h3><a name="with_function_objects">Using bind with function objects</a></h3> - <p><b>bind</b> is not limited to functions; it accepts arbitrary function objects. - In the general case, the return type of the generated function object's <b>operator()</b> - has to be specified explicitly (without a <b>typeof</b> operator the return - type cannot be inferred): - </p> - <pre>struct F -{ - int operator()(int a, int b) { return a - b; } - bool operator()(long a, long b) { return a == b; } -}; - -F f; - -int x = 104; - -bind<int>(f, _1, _1)(x); // f(x, x), i.e. zero -</pre> - <p>Some compilers have trouble with the <tt>bind<R>(f, ...)</tt> syntax. For - portability reasons, an alternative way to express the above is supported:</p> - <pre>boost::bind(boost::type<int>(), f, _1, _1)(x); -</pre> - <P>Note, however, that the alternative syntax is provided only as a workaround. It - is not part of the interface.</P> - <P>When the function object exposes a nested type named <b>result_type</b>, the - explicit return type can be omitted: - </P> - <pre>int x = 8; - -bind(std::less<int>(), _1, 9)(x); // x < 9 -</pre> - <p>[Note: the ability to omit the return type is not available on all compilers.] - </p> - <P>By default, <STRONG>bind</STRONG> makes a copy of the provided function object. <code> - boost::ref</code> and <code>boost::cref</code> can be used to make it store - a reference to the function object, rather than a copy. This can be useful when - the function object is noncopyable, expensive to copy, or contains state; of - course, in this case the programmer is expected to ensure that the function - object is not destroyed while it's still being used.</P> - <pre>struct F2 -{ - int s; - - typedef void result_type; - void operator()( int x ) { s += x; } -}; - -F2 f2 = { 0 }; -int a[] = { 1, 2, 3 }; - -std::for_each( a, a+3, bind( ref(f2), _1 ) ); - -assert( f2.s == 6 ); -</pre> - <h3><a name="with_member_pointers">Using bind with pointers to members</a></h3> - <p>Pointers to member functions and pointers to data members are not function - objects, because they do not support <tt>operator()</tt>. For convenience, <b>bind</b> - accepts member pointers as its first argument, and the behavior is as if <A href="mem_fn.html"> - boost::mem_fn</A> has been used to convert the member pointer into a - function object. In other words, the expression - </p> - <pre>bind(&X::f, <i>args</i>) -</pre> - <p>is equivalent to - </p> - <pre>bind<R>(<A href="mem_fn.html" >mem_fn</A>(&X::f), <i>args</i>) -</pre> - <p>where <b>R</b> is the return type of <b>X::f</b> (for member functions) or the - type of the member (for data members.) - </p> - <p>[Note: <b>mem_fn</b> creates function objects that are able to accept a pointer, - a reference, or a smart pointer to an object as its first argument; for - additional information, see the <b>mem_fn</b> <A href="mem_fn.html">documentation</A>.] - </p> - <p>Example: - </p> - <pre>struct X -{ - bool f(int a); -}; - -X x; - -shared_ptr<X> p(new X); - -int i = 5; - -bind(&X::f, ref(x), _1)(i); // x.f(i) -bind(&X::f, &x, _1)(i); //(&x)->f(i) -bind(&X::f, x, _1)(i); // (<i>internal copy of x</i>).f(i) -bind(&X::f, p, _1)(i); // (<i>internal copy of p</i>)->f(i) -</pre> - <p>The last two examples are interesting in that they produce "self-contained" - function objects. <tt>bind(&X::f, x, _1)</tt> stores a copy of <b>x</b>. <tt>bind(&X::f, - p, _1)</tt> stores a copy of <b>p</b>, and since <b>p</b> is a <A href="../smart_ptr/shared_ptr.htm"> - boost::shared_ptr</A>, the function object retains a reference to its - instance of <b>X</b> and will remain valid even when <b>p</b> goes out of scope - or is <b>reset()</b>. - </p> - <h3><a name="nested_binds">Using nested binds for function composition</a></h3> - <p>Some of the arguments passed to <b>bind</b> may be nested <b>bind</b> expressions - themselves: - </p> - <pre>bind(f, bind(g, _1))(x); // f(g(x)) -</pre> - <p>The inner <STRONG>bind</STRONG> expressions are evaluated, in unspecified order, - before the outer <STRONG>bind</STRONG> when the function object is called; the - results of the evaluation are then substituted in their place when the outer <STRONG> - bind</STRONG> is evaluated. In the example above, when the function object - is called with the argument list <tt>(x)</tt>, <tt>bind(g, _1)(x)</tt> is - evaluated first, yielding <tt>g(x)</tt>, and then <tt>bind(f, g(x))(x)</tt> is - evaluated, yielding the final result <tt>f(g(x))</tt>. - </p> - <P>This feature of <b>bind</b> can be used to perform function composition. See <A href="bind_as_compose.cpp"> - bind_as_compose.cpp</A> for an example that demonstrates how to use <b>bind</b> - to achieve similar functionality to <A href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_31_0/libs/compose/index.htm">Boost.Compose</A>. - </P> - <p>Note that the first argument - the bound function object - is not evaluated, - even when it's a function object that is produced by <STRONG>bind</STRONG> or a - placeholder argument, so the example below does not work as expected: - </p> - <pre>typedef void (*pf)(int); - -std::vector<pf> v; - -std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), bind(_1, 5)); -</pre> - <p>The desired effect can be achieved via a helper function object <STRONG>apply</STRONG> - that applies its first argument, as a function object, to the rest of its - argument list. For convenience, an implementation of <STRONG>apply</STRONG> is - provided in the <STRONG>boost/bind/apply.hpp</STRONG> header file. Here is how - the modified version of the previous example looks like: - </p> - <pre>typedef void (*pf)(int); - -std::vector<pf> v; - -std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), bind(apply<void>(), _1, 5)); -</pre> - <P>Although the first argument is, by default, not evaluated, all other arguments - are. Sometimes it is necessary not to evaluate arguments subsequent to the - first, even when they are nested <STRONG>bind</STRONG> subexpressions. This can - be achieved with the help of another function object, <STRONG>protect</STRONG>, - that masks the type so that <STRONG>bind</STRONG> does not recognize and - evaluate it. When called, <STRONG>protect</STRONG> simply forwards the argument - list to the other function object unmodified.</P> - <P>The header <STRONG>boost/bind/protect.hpp</STRONG> contains an implementation of <STRONG> - protect</STRONG>. To protect a <STRONG>bind</STRONG> function object from - evaluation, use <tt>protect(bind(f, ...))</tt>.</P> - <h3><a name="operators">Overloaded operators</a> (new in Boost 1.33)</h3> - <p>For convenience, the function objects produced by <tt>bind</tt> overload the - logical not operator <code>!</code> and the relational and logical operators <code>==</code>, - <code>!=</code>, <code><</code>, <code><=</code>, <code>></code>, <code>>=</code>, - <code>&&</code>, <code>||</code>.</p> - <P><tt>!bind(f, ...)</tt> is equivalent to <tt>bind( <EM>logical_not</EM>(), bind(f, - ...) )</tt>, where <tt><EM>logical_not</EM></tt> is a function object that - takes one argument <tt>x</tt> and returns <tt>!x</tt>.</P> - <P><tt>bind(f, ...) <EM>op</EM> x</tt>, where <EM>op</EM> is a relational or - logical operator, is equivalent to <tt>bind( <EM>relation</EM>(), bind(f, ...), x )</tt>, - where <em>relation</em> is a function object that takes two arguments <tt>a</tt> - and <tt>b</tt> and returns <tt>a <EM>op</EM> b</tt>.</P> - <P>What this means in practice is that you can conveniently negate the result of <tt>bind</tt>:</P> - <P><tt>std::remove_if( first, last, !bind( &X::visible, _1 ) ); // remove invisible - objects</tt></P> - <P>and compare the result of <tt>bind</tt> against a value:</P> - <P><tt>std::find_if( first, last, bind( &X::name, _1 ) == "Peter" );</tt></P> - <P><tt>std::find_if( first, last, bind( &X::name, _1 ) == "Peter" || bind( - &X::name, _1 ) == "Paul" );</tt></P> - <P>against a placeholder:</P> - <P><tt>bind( &X::name, _1 ) == _2</tt></P> - <P>or against another <tt>bind</tt> expression:</P> - <P><tt>std::sort( first, last, bind( &X::name, _1 ) < bind( &X::name, _2 ) - ); // sort by name</tt></P> - <h2><a name="Examples">Examples</a></h2> - <h3><a name="with_algorithms">Using bind with standard algorithms</a></h3> - <pre>class image; - -class animation -{ -public: - - void advance(int ms); - bool inactive() const; - void render(image & target) const; -}; - -std::vector<animation> anims; - -template<class C, class P> void erase_if(C & c, P pred) -{ - c.erase(std::remove_if(c.begin(), c.end(), pred), c.end()); -} - -void update(int ms) -{ - std::for_each(anims.begin(), anims.end(), boost::bind(&animation::advance, _1, ms)); - erase_if(anims, boost::mem_fn(&animation::inactive)); -} - -void render(image & target) -{ - std::for_each(anims.begin(), anims.end(), boost::bind(&animation::render, _1, boost::ref(target))); -} -</pre> - <h3><a name="with_boost_function">Using bind with Boost.Function</a></h3> - <pre>class button -{ -public: - - <A href="../function/index.html" >boost::function</A><void()> onClick; -}; - -class player -{ -public: - - void play(); - void stop(); -}; - -button playButton, stopButton; -player thePlayer; - -void connect() -{ - playButton.onClick = boost::bind(&player::play, &thePlayer); - stopButton.onClick = boost::bind(&player::stop, &thePlayer); -} -</pre> - <h2><a name="Limitations">Limitations</a></h2> - <p>As a general rule, the function objects generated by <b>bind</b> take their - arguments by reference and cannot, therefore, accept non-const temporaries or - literal constants.

(It will be fixed in the next standard, usually - called C++0x.)</p> - <p>The library uses signatures of the form - </p> - <pre>template<class T> void f(T & t); -</pre> - <p>to accept arguments of arbitrary types and pass them on unmodified. As noted, - this does not work with non-const r-values. - </p> - <p>On compilers that support partial ordering of function templates, a possible - solution is to add an overload: - </p> - <pre>template<class T> void f(T & t); -template<class T> void f(T const & t); -</pre> - <p>Unfortunately, this requires providing 512 overloads for nine arguments, which - is impractical. The library chooses a small subset: for up to two arguments, it - provides the const overloads in full, for arities of three and more it provides - a single additional overload with all of the arguments taken by const - reference. This covers a reasonable portion of the use cases. - </p> - <h2><a name="FAQ">Frequently Asked Questions</a></h2> - <h3><a name="Q_doesnt_compile">Why doesn't this compile?</a></h3> - <p>See the <A href="#Troubleshooting">dedicated Troubleshooting section</A>.</p> - <h3><a name="Q_does_compile">Why does this compile? It should not.</a></h3> - <p>Probably because you used the general <tt>bind<R>(f, ...)</tt> syntax, - thereby instructing <b>bind</b> to not "inspect" <b>f</b> to detect arity and - return type errors.</p> - <h3><a name="Q_forms">What is the difference between bind(f, ...) and bind<R>(f, - ...)?</a></h3> - <p>The first form instructs <b>bind</b> to inspect the type of <b>f</b> in order to - determine its arity (number of arguments) and return type. Arity errors will be - detected at "bind time". This syntax, of course, places some requirements on <b>f</b>. - It must be a function, function pointer, member function pointer, or a function - object that defines a nested type named <b>result_type</b>; in short, it must - be something that <b>bind</b> can recognize.</p> - <p>The second form instructs <b>bind</b> to <b>not</b> attempt to recognize the - type of <b>f</b>. It is generally used with function objects that do not, or - cannot, expose <b>result_type</b>, but it can also be used with nonstandard - functions. For example, the current implementation does not automatically - recognize variable-argument functions like <b>printf</b>, so you will have to - use <tt>bind<int>(printf, ...)</tt>. Note that an alternative <tt>bind(type<R>(), - f, ...)</tt> syntax is supported for portability reasons.</p> - <p>Another important factor to consider is that compilers without partial template - specialization or function template partial ordering support cannot handle the - first form when <b>f</b> is a function object, and in most cases will not - handle the second form when <b>f</b> is a function (pointer) or a member - function pointer.</p> - <h3><a name="Q_win32_api">Does <b>bind</b> work with Windows API functions?</a></h3> - <p>Yes, if you <A href="#stdcall">#define BOOST_BIND_ENABLE_STDCALL</A>.

On some platforms, pointers to extern "C" functions are equivalent to - "ordinary" function pointers, so they work fine. Other platforms treat them as - different types. A platform-specific implementation of <b>bind</b> is expected - to handle the problem transparently; this implementation does not.

It should not.] + +Probably because you used the general `bind<R>(f, ...)` syntax, thereby +instructing `bind` to not "inspect" f to detect arity and return type errors. + +[endsect] + +[section:Q_forms What is the difference between `bind(f, ...)` and `bind<R>(f, ...)`?] + +The first form instructs `bind` to inspect the type of `f` in order to +determine its arity (number of arguments) and return type. Arity errors will +be detected at "bind time". This syntax, of course, places some requirements +on `f`. It must be a function, function pointer, member function pointer, or a +function object that defines a nested type named `result_type`; in short, it +must be something that `bind` can recognize. + +The second form instructs `bind` to not attempt to recognize the type of `f`. +It is generally used with function objects that do not, or cannot, expose +`result_type`, but it can also be used with nonstandard functions. For example, +the current implementation does not automatically recognize variable-argument +functions like `printf`, so you will have to use `bind<int>(printf, ...)`. +Note that an alternative `bind(type<R>(), f, ...)` syntax is supported for +portability reasons. + +Another important factor to consider is that compilers without partial +template specialization or function template partial ordering support cannot +handle the first form when `f` is a function object, and in most cases will +not handle the second form when `f` is a function (pointer) or a member +function pointer. + +[endsect] + +[section Does bind work with Windows API functions?] + +Yes, if you [link bind.implementation.stdcall `#define +BOOST_BIND_ENABLE_STDCALL`].

On some platforms, pointers to extern "C" functions are equivalent +to "ordinary" function pointers, so they work fine. Other platforms treat them +as different types. A platform-specific implementation of `bind` is expected +to handle the problem transparently; this implementation does not. As usual, +the workaround is to treat the function as a [link +bind.purpose.with_function_objects generic function object] and use the +`bind<R>(f, ...)` syntax. + +[endsect] + +[section Why doesn't bind automatically recognize nonstandard functions?] + +Non-portable extensions, in general, should default to off to prevent vendor +lock-in.

It supports arbitrary function objects, functions, function +pointers, and member function pointers, and is able to bind any argument to a +specific value or route input arguments into arbitrary positions. `bind` does +not place any requirements on the function object; in particular, it does not +need the `result_type`, `first_argument_type` and `second_argument_type` +standard typedefs. + +[section Using bind with functions and function pointers] + +Given these definitions: + + int f(int a, int b) + { + return a + b; + } + + int g(int a, int b, int c) + { + return a + b + c; + } + +`bind(f, 1, 2)` will produce a "nullary" function object that takes no +arguments and returns `f(1, 2)`. Similarly, `bind(g, 1, 2, 3)()` is equivalent + `to g(1, 2, 3)`. + +It is possible to selectively bind only some of the arguments. +`bind(f, _1, 5)(x)` is equivalent to `f(x, 5)`; here `_1` is a /placeholder/ +argument that means "substitute with the first input argument." + +For comparison, here is the same operation expressed with the standard library +primitives: + + std::bind2nd(std::ptr_fun(f), 5)(x); + +`bind` covers the functionality of `std::bind1st` as well: + + std::bind1st(std::ptr_fun(f), 5)(x); // f(5, x) + bind(f, 5, _1)(x); // f(5, x) + +`bind` can handle functions with more than two arguments, and its argument +substitution mechanism is more general: + + bind(f, _2, _1)(x, y); // f(y, x) + bind(g, _1, 9, _1)(x); // g(x, 9, x) + bind(g, _3, _3, _3)(x, y, z); // g(z, z, z) + bind(g, _1, _1, _1)(x, y, z); // g(x, x, x) + +Note that, in the last example, the function object produced by +`bind(g, _1, _1, _1)` does not contain references to any arguments beyond the +first, but it can still be used with more than one argument. Any extra +arguments are silently ignored, just like the first and the second argument +are ignored in the third example. + +The arguments that `bind` takes are copied and held internally by the returned +function object. For example, in the following code: + + int i = 5; + bind(f, i, _1); + +a copy of the value of `i` is stored into the function object. +[@boost:/libs/core/doc/html/core/ref.html `boost::ref`] and +[@boost:/libs/core/doc/html/core/ref.html `boost::cref`] can be used to make the function +object store a reference to an object, rather than a copy: + + int i = 5; + bind(f, ref(i), _1); + bind(f, cref(i), _1); + +[endsect] + +[section:with_function_objects Using bind with function objects] + +`bind` is not limited to functions; it accepts arbitrary function objects.

In particular, +`mem_fn` does not return objects of type `std::[const_]mem_fun[1][_ref]_t`, as +the standard adaptors do, and it is not possible to fully describe the type of +the first argument using the standard `argument_type` and `first_argument_type` +nested typedefs.
